A speeding motorcyclist in Maryland...

...is stopped by gun wielding plainclothes cop in unmarked car. He cited for speeding then when he posts video showing cop to be twit he is gets charged with wiretapping. A police officer in the course of his duties has no expectation of privacy. That means people can record or videotape them. So the new charges had nothing to do with wiretapping but instead making the cop look like the twit he was. In a just world the cop would be on administrative leave while his actions were investigated while the motorcyclist sat at home having paid the fine for speeding [video evidence goes both ways bud.]. Instead the cop goes about his normal duties and the motorcyclist sits at home waiting for his court date on the bogus wiretapping charges or more simply put: pissing off the police.
